  2. Vacuum insulated evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_insulated_evaporator

    A vacuum insulated evaporator (VIE) is a form of pressure vessel that allows the bulk storage of cryogenic liquids including oxygen, nitrogen and argon for industrial processes and medical applications. [1] The purpose of the vacuum insulation is to prevent heat transfer between the inner shell, which holds the liquid, and surrounding ...

  3. Multiple-effect evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_evaporator

    Condensing vapors from flash tank B1 heat evaporator A2. •1=feed •2=product •3=steam •4=vapors. In chemical engineering, a multiple-effect evaporator is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat from steam to evaporate water. [1] Water is boiled in a sequence of vessels, each held at a lower pressure than the last.

  4. Tubomanometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubomanometry

    The individual is asked to perform a swallowing maneuver. During this time, the nasal fossae and the nasopharynx are occluded by the velum. A tympanometry earplug is inserted into the external ear of the studied side to avoid fluctuations in ear pressure due to atmospheric conditions.

  5. Evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator

    An industrial evaporator used in a chemical plant in Turkey. An evaporator is a type of heat exchanger device that facilitates evaporation by utilizing conductive and convective heat transfer, which provides the necessary thermal energy for phase transition from liquid to vapour. Within evaporators, a circulating liquid is exposed to an ...

  6. Pressure Equipment Directive (EU) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_Equipment...

    The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU (formerly 97/23/EC) [1] of the EU sets out the standards for the design and fabrication of pressure equipment ("pressure equipment" means steam boilers, pressure vessels, piping, safety valves and other components and assemblies subject to pressure loading) generally over one liter in volume and having a maximum pressure more than 0.5 bar gauge.

  7. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

    Hydrostatic testing is the most common method employed for testing pipes and pressure vessels. Using this test helps maintain safety standards and durability of a vessel over time. Newly manufactured pieces are initially qualified using the hydrostatic test. They are then revalidated at regular intervals according to the relevant standard.

  8. Rupture disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_disc

    A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.

  9. Circulation evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_evaporator

    Removing of the circulation pump reduces the operating costs, however due to characteristics of the system as mentioned above the evaporator has a long residence time and low flow rates, [11] making its uses severely more limited than a forced circulation evaporator. The most common application of Natural Circulation evaporation is as a ...
